Title: National Animal Health
Monitoring System; Dairy 2014 Study.
OMB Number: 0579–0205.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture is authorized, among
other things, to protect the health of
U.S. livestock and poultry populations
by preventing the introduction and
interstate spread of serious diseases and
pests of livestock and for eradicating
such diseases from the United States
when feasible. In connection with this
mission, APHIS operates the National
Animal Health Monitoring System
(NAHMS), which collects nationally
representative, statistically valid, and
scientifically sound data on the
prevalence and economic importance of
livestock diseases and associated risk
factors.
NAHMS’ national studies are a
collaborative industry and Government
initiative to help determine the most
effective means of preventing and
controlling diseases of livestock. APHIS
is the only agency responsible for
collecting national data on livestock
health. Participation in any NAHMS
study is voluntary, and all data are
confidential.
APHIS plans to conduct a Dairy 2014
Study as part of an ongoing series of
NAHMS studies on the U.S. dairy
population. This will be the fifth dairy
study, and the purpose of this study is
to collect information, through two onfarm questionnaires and biological
sampling, to:
• Describe trends in dairy cattle
health and management practices;
• Describe management practices and
production measures related to animal
welfare;
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

• Estimate the herd-level prevalence
of lameness and identify housing and
management factors associated with
lameness;
• Evaluate dairy calf health from birth
to weaning;
• Describe antibiotic use and residue
prevention methods used to ensure milk
and meat quality; and
• Estimate the prevalence and
antimicrobial resistance patterns of
foodborne pathogens.
The information collected will be
used by APHIS to help define and
evaluate current management practices
and trends, help policymakers and
industry make informed decisions,
assist researchers and private enterprise
to identify and focus on vital issues
related to dairy-cattle health and
productivity, and conduct economic
analyses of the health and production of
the U.S. dairy industry.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
1.006 hours per response.
Respondents: Dairy owners and
operators.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 7,440.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 7,440.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 7,482 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)

Abstract: Under the Animal Health

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture is authorized,
among other things, to prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products to prevent the introduction
into and dissemination within the
United States of livestock diseases and
pests. To carry out this mission, APHIS
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States.
The regulations for the importation of
animals and animal products are
contained in 9 CFR parts 92 through 98.
In part 94, § 94.6 governs the
importation of carcasses, meat, parts or
products of carcasses, and eggs (other
than hatching eggs) of poultry, game
birds, and other birds to prevent the
introduction of Newcastle disease and
highly pathogenic avian influenza into
the United States. Various conditions
for the importation of table eggs from
regions where Newcastle disease exists,
including Mexico, apply and involve
information collection activities,
including the issuance of certificates
and application of seals by foreign
national or accredited veterinarians.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
